In any case, after your 1.b6 axb6 2.Ba4 Bxa4 3.Qa4 Kb8 with the idea of Ng8-e7-c8 or Ka7 followed by Qc6 expelling Whites Queen. If 4.Qb5 Ka7 accomplishes less than nothing for White, since White is no longer ready to play as Ba3 to get rid of Blacks good Bishop and Black still has his plans. If 4.Ba3 Bxa3 5.Qxa3 Ne7 and Black is poised to complete his plan of shuting down Whites play on the Q-side completely with Nc8. White has expended a pawn to "attack" on the wrong side of the board, minimized the value of his space advantage by exchanging pieces and has no attack to show for it on either side of the board. All very anti-positional. Instead, White could have pursued an initiative on the K-side in a very thematic manner that is harder to stop. Black cannot easily utilize his Q, Na5 and Bc8 on the K-side and White should try to exploit this as a superiority of force on that side of the board.
